I’ve always thought of Paralives as another Sims ripoff. They’ve obviously copied drawn inspiration over a lot of of features from this game. And I’ve always thought that I’m not really interested in another cash grab if they’re going down the EA route.
BUT looking at it objectively, I realize that the only things keeping me still playing this game are the attachment to the sims that I’ve made and the nostalgia factor. Deep down I know that playing The Sims has caused me a lot of frustrations. I can’t count the times I’ve thought to myself, “oh man this game would be so much better if I can do this or that” but I keep playing because I’ve already invested in a sim’s life (storytelling-wise) or house (when I’m building).
I’ll stick with this game if EA can somehow pull a miracle and make TS4 not as broken or boring as it is right now. I’m not even asking for a rehash of things they used to have from TS2 or TS3 or for them to take a page from Paralives’ book. If they can rework some base game features like they asked in that survey from some time ago, I’d be down for it. I just want another reason for me to genuinely want to keep playing.
